October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Did you know that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime?

This month, we’ll be focusing on raising awareness and highlighting the importance of early detection, education, and empowerment in the fight against breast cancer.

While many early-stage breast cancers are found during routine mammograms, it’s important to talk with your healthcare provider if you notice:

• New lumps or thickening in the breast or underarm
• Swelling in part or all of a breast
• Changes in breast skin texture (dimples or puckering)
• Breast or nipple pain
• Nipple changes, such as inversion or discharge
• Redness or scaling on the breast or nipple
• Unusual asymmetry or changes in breast shape or size

Together, through awareness and proactive care, we can make a difference.
